What this policy covers
This privacy policy explains how the mobile application HEIC to JPG & PNG Converter (the “app”) handles information when you use it. The app is published under the package name heic.jpg.png.converter.
The short version
- Your photos are converted entirely on your device and never leave it.
- We do not collect, store, or transmit any photo content.
- The app does not require an account or sign-up.
- The app shows ads through Google AdMob, which uses your device’s advertising identifier.
- The app uses Google Firebase for anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting, to help us fix bugs and improve the app. This never includes your files or personal content.
What we do NOT collect
- Your photos, their content, or any data derived from them.
- Your name, email address, phone number, or other personal identifiers.
- Your location.
- Your contacts, calendar, microphone, camera input, or any files other than the ones you choose to convert.
What stays on your device
Converted files (JPG, PNG, WEBP, or PDF) are saved to your device’s gallery and to a private app folder so the “Converted files” screen can show them. Your most recent conversions (file name, size, format, timestamp) are stored locally in an on-device database, capped at 50 entries with the oldest removed automatically. Your theme and metadata preferences are also stored locally. None of this data is transmitted off the device by us.
Permissions the app requests
Photos / Files access
The app uses the system file picker so you can choose the HEIC/HEIF (or other image) files you want to convert, and saves the converted copies back to your gallery. The app reads only the files you select and never enumerates your full gallery for any other purpose.
Internet access
The app uses the internet only for serving advertisements through Google AdMob, and to send anonymous usage analytics and crash reports (to Google Firebase and to our own first-party analytics service). Your photos and converted files are never sent over the network.
Advertising — Google AdMob
We monetize the app with Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and process the following on Google’s servers in order to serve and measure ads:
- Your device’s advertising identifier (Google Advertising ID on Android).
- General device information such as device model, OS version, language, and approximate region.
- IP address and ad interaction events.
In the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, the app shows a Google consent message before serving personalized ads, and you can change your choice later from the app’s Settings screen. You can reset or remove your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings. Google’s use of advertising data is governed by Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. Google’s practices for AdMob are described here: support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543.
Analytics and crash reporting (Google Firebase)
The app uses Google Firebase (Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics) to understand how the app is used in aggregate and to detect and fix crashes. For these purposes Google may collect and process on its servers:
- App usage and interaction events (for example, screens opened and features used), in aggregate.
- General device and app information such as device model, operating system version, app version, language, and approximate region.
- An app-instance identifier and diagnostic information.
- Crash logs, stack traces, and the device state at the time of a crash.
This data is used only to improve the app’s stability and experience. The app also uses a first-party, self-hosted analytics service that collects the same kind of anonymous usage data (an anonymous app-instance identifier and interaction events), never any personal data, and is used only to improve the app. It is not used to serve personalized ads, is not sold, and never includes your personal content. Google’s handling of this data is governed by Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy, and Firebase’s practices are described here: firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
Children
The app is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Data retention
Locally-stored conversion history is retained on your device only and is capped at 50 entries. You can clear it at any time from inside the app (Converted files → trash icon). Uninstalling the app deletes all on-device data.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal data, there is nothing on our side for you to access, correct, export, or delete. For data Google AdMob may hold about your device’s advertising identifier, you can manage your preferences in your device settings or via Google’s ad settings page: adssettings.google.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. The current version is indicated by the “Last updated” date below. Material changes will be published at this URL before they take effect in the app.
